A day that will live in infamy

This day is remembered as "a date which will live in infamy": Pearl Harbor Day. Thousands of lives were lost, a major portion of America’s Pacific fleet was in pieces and the U.S. was catapulted into war in the Pacific.

The rusted remains of the "Arizona" are clearly visible under the waters of Pearl Harbor. The memorial to the 1,100 men, entombed forever within the sunken, once mighty, battleship, straddles the "USS Arizona". One wall of the structure bears their names.

Another heartbreaking article!Great piece which shows how badly we've been with each other!Wasn't their a way that would have prevented all this loss of human life? This one reason why I wrote "If men Were Kind"Thanks for sharing!

It's an open question my friend? The point is, we need to look at History and learn something and never repeat those mistakes. We don't have to keep on killing each other for whatever reasons! "If Men Were Kind", we would resolve all conflicts with a handshake and our valiant soldiers wouldn't have to fight at all! To our fallen heroes, may their souls rest in peace!

A friend of mine reminded me yesterday, that is why I changed my profile picture to the American flag.I also have my father in law's flag, in a case and in a honored place in my home.Albert Eugene Helped in the conflict as a very honored Marine. I miss him to this day.He is who made my husband the way he is and I will always begrateful to him for that and for helping so many defenseless people.Thank you for a nice read.:)
